My girlfriend (not Canadian) said this last night: "After all the hacking and slashing and guts flying out everywhere on this show, who knew that a little piece of glass would be the thing that makes me squirm?"

Mentat:I for one am glad to see that even after the fall of civilization, Glenn and Maggie still support the right to bear arms.

Jesus tap-dancing christ that was farking incredibly bad-ass. Glenn has been holding back. I have been keeping up with the comics, which make the show seem like kiddie time. Honestly, last night I was expecting the govenor to lose an arm.

/ Not surprised they cut out his castration or getting his dick nailed to a board. But at least lose a damn arm.// Sad face. :(

Vodka Zombie:My girlfriend (not Canadian) said this last night: "After all the hacking and slashing and guts flying out everywhere on this show, who knew that a little piece of glass would be the thing that makes me squirm?"

I know it's from Season 2, but the part where they pulled the fat zombie out of the watering hole on Herschel's farm and his body exploded into halves, THAT made me lose my lunch.

yeegrek:Fair is fair. Carl was easy to mock last season, but he's much better written this season.

The way he stormed through each prison room looking for the source of that scream, holding his gun over his flashlight like a commando, that was the apex of his badassery.

The writers this season have definitely been paying attention to angry Internet message boards: killing off Lori earlier than in comics, Carl, more zombies and gore, better plot pacing, avoiding Michonne's/Maggie's rape scene, etc...

Makes you wonder if AMC upped their budget for this season, or if they just had a huge surplus of funds since they spent around all of $500 on Season 2.

I don't know if it's just the budget. I think Frank Darabount leaving the show had a lot to do with the increase in quality. He was partly responsible for the very slooow build-up in the first half of season 2, with the Zombie Sophia reveal the big payoff. His involvement ended there, and then the other writers took up the slack in his absence and really took things up a couple notches since then. Anyway, for all the naysayings about Darabount leaving would hurt TWD, I'm glad the exact opposite thing happened.

It was a great story... that should have been wrapped up in two episodes.

With Rick putting a bullet into Shanes head right after he puts down Sophia.
